For the demand function q = D(p) = 500 / (p + 5)^3, find the following.
a) The elasticity
b) The elasticity at p = 1, stating whether the demand is elastic, inelastic or has unit elasticity
c) The value(s) of p for which total revenue is a maximum (assume that p is in dollars)
a) Find the equation for elasticity.
E(p) =
b) Find the elasticity at the given price, stating whether the demand is elastic, inelastic or has unit elasticity.
E(1) =
(Simplify your answer. Type an integer or a fraction.)
Is the demand elastic, inelastic, or does it have unit elasticity?
A. unit elasticity
B. elastic
C. inelastic
c) The value(s) of p for which total revenue is a maximum (assume that p is in dollars).
